DEATH OF LADY KINDERSLEY. — Lady Kinders ley, the wife of the Vice Chancellor, died at an early hour yesterday morning. Her ladyship had been ailing for some time past, but no immediate serious result was anticipated. For the last few days she had suffered slightly from a cold; but it was thought to be so trivial that his honour sat as usual in the Court of Chancery on Tuesday. 102 104 91 10 11 1046 03 95 85 87 Do.

The Patris publishes the following curious state ment :—" Every one knows that wool is a most valuable product and adds millions yearly to the public wealth, but a recent chemical discovery shows that it contains a substance hitherto wasted, from which a considerable further profit may be obtained. This substance is commonly known by the name of yolk or grease, and, ac cording to persons who have studied the ques tion, it amounts to nearly one-third of the gross weight of the fleece, Until lately this yolk has always been washed out of the wool and thrown away. But now chemists purchase the lye in which the wool has been washed, and obtain from it a dry residuum by evaporation. That residuum, on being calcined in large retorts, produces a great quantity of hydro-carburetted and ammo nical gases, from which ammonia and carbaretted hydrogen are obtained by various processes, while alkaline salts are extracted from the resi duum left in the retorts. These salts chiefly consists of carbonate of potash, and about 175 grammes 'are produced from every four kilogs. of wool. In the course of a year about 10 millions of kilogrammes of wool are washed at Rheims, 15 millions at Elbeuf, and 2 millions at Fourwies, from which total of 27 millions no less than 1,177,750 kilogrammes of pure potash may be obtained, worth, at the average price of Americas potash, about 500,000 fr. Unfo, - - tunately, but little of the water used in washing wool is at present turned to account, MM. Man mere and Rogelet being the only persons as yet engaged in the trade. These gentlemen are of opinion that the 47 millions of sheep in France would produce sufficient potash for the whole consumption of the country, which at present draws its supply of that article from North Ame rica and Russia." COLONIAL GOVERIs MENT SECU The Duke de Malakoff, Governor of Algeria, has just addressed to the prefects of the colony a circular to be communicated to the journals published in the departments under their administration. In that document his Excellency complains of the conduct of the Algerian press, accusing it of iniuse tice towards the home Government by continually demanding fresh advantages, and at the same time intentionally avoiding all mention of those which have boon conferred. After referring to the tole ration which he has always exercised towards the press, the Governor mentions the remarks made upon the railways of Algeria as an example in sup port of his allegations of ingratitude, and concludes by calling on the journals of Algeria to abandon a policy whic is offensive to the Government, and contrary to truth. TuE ALLEGED POISONING AT HAYLE.—In con nection with the charge of poisoning preferred against Mr. Millett, surgeon, of Hayle, some singular coincidences have been brought under our notice, which may lead to the inference that the family of the deceased were peculiarly liable to sudden death, from constitutional or other causes. We are informed that the Hayle station of the West Cornwall Railway is situate on the estate of Pen pol ; the residence called Penpol House is very close to the station, and has been the seat of the Milletts and their an cestors for many generations, The last owner and occupier was the late Rev. J. C. Millett, who was found dead in his bed on the morning of the 13th of January, 1848, after the family had breakfasted. He had been a little unwell from indigestion, and was on sick diet the day previous, and took in bed, on retiring to rest at night, a breakfast cup of arrow • root and brandy. The next morning he was found dead exactly in the same position as that in which he placed him self after taking the arrowroot. Ho slept in a room alone. A coroner's jury, at an inquest held at Penpol, on the 15th January, 1848, decided that the cause of the sudden death of the Rev. John C. Millett was "eating too heartily," and they returned a verdict accordingly. Miss Jane Millett, daughter of the Rev. John C. Millett, was found dead in her bed at eight or nine o'clock in the morning on the 18th June, 1848, but no inquest on her body was thought necessary. It is now stated that the contents of the stomach of the deceased gentleman concerning whose death the pre sent investigation is being made were sent to Guy's Hospi tal, L)ndon, for analysis by Dr. Taylor. The learned pro fessor was out of town at the time, and it is asserted that the result of his examination is not yet known to any one in Cornwall, and that it was not as the result of his discoveries that the accused was arrested. Concerning this, however, there are contradictory statements.— Western Morning News.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about 4 per mlllO pm., and the short exchange on London is 25.22} per. £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of Z 3 17e. lOid. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is about 2-10ths per cent, dearer in Paris than in London By advices fromHartiburg the price of gold is 423} per mark and the short exchange on London is 13.4} per £1 sterling. Standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about the same price in London and Hamburg. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is 165 to 166} per cent., and the premium on gold is 51.1 per cent. At these rates there is a profit on the importation of gold from the United States. It is said that M. 'Tiers is to leave for England after the debate in the French Corps Legislatif on the address. His object in visiting London is to consult the archives of the British Parliament. The Edinburgh Courant says :—" It is under stood that :the Dowager Duchess of Athole will reside at Dunkeld, after paying a visit to her venerable and esteemed father, Mr. Home Drummond, who was unable kora infir mity to be at the funeral. The young duke will enter into possession of Blair Castle.

BOW• STREET. FORGERY BY A CONFIDENTIAL CLER Peyton and Emma Hayes were charged with uttering a forged cheque for DO, on Glyn and Co.'s bank. Mr. Pavey, preprietcr of the Swan Hotel, New-street, Covent-garden, stated—l have known the prisoner for about four or five years as holding a good position in society. He was managing clerk in a large frm in the City. I was not aware that he had left his situation. On the 22d December he called on me, and said ho was rather short of money, and would be obliged if I would lend him £l5. I lent him the money. On the 23d of January, the female prisoner called on me with a letter from him. I had known her from seeing her in the prisoner's company at various times. The letter enclosed a cheque on Messrs. Glyn's bank, signed " W. Peyton," which was the name by which I had known him (though I now believe it is a fictitious name), and dated from Park Village West, which is certainly not his present address, though, no doubt, he formerly lived there. The letter contained a request that I should cash the cheque, deducting the £l5 which he owed me, and hand the other £l5 to the lady. I accord ingly gave her two £5 notes and £5 in sovereigns. I paid the cheque away to Mr. Gale, a cheesemonger, in discharge of an account amounting to £2l, and he paid me the difference. On Monday I received a letter by post from the prisoner, requesting me to hold the cheque over for a few days. At that time, however, I had parted with the cheque. Yesterday (Wednesday) the cheque was returned to me by Mr. Gale, who had presented it at the bank, where payment was refused. After some further evidence the male prisoner was re manded, and the woman discharged. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE IN A. CAB --Annie Rivers, a young female, was charged before Mr. Knox with attempting to commit suicide under the following circumstances : It appears that the young woman got into a cab at Hoxton, and requested the driver to drive as fast as possible to Bond-street. On reaching Bond-street, the driver got down to let out his fare, when he was surprised to find her in a state of insensibility. Finding his efforts to arouse her use less, he called the attention of police-constable Mott, 335 A, to the young woman. Mott at first thought she had been drinking, but fearing that she might have taken some nar cotic he told the driver to proceed to the Middlesex Hospital, when an emetic having been administered, it was aster•• tained that the young woman had taken poison. On Mott subsequently examining the cab, he found a phial which was found to have contained a drug, and one was also found on the young woman. . . - The following certificate was handed to Mr. Knox : "I hereby certify that Annie Rivers was brought to this hospital suffering from the effects of opium. —FREDERICK H. WATTS, Resident Medical Officer, Middlesex Hospital." Sergeant Bason (acting inspector) asked for a remand, as although every exertion had been used to discover the pri soner's friends, they had been unsuccessful, the more espe cially as the prisoner had given false addresses. The prisoner WAS remanded. PAYING FOR REVENGE,—Elizabeth Macdonald was charged before Mr. Knox as follows : Mr. Fuller, of 45, Castle-street, Leicester-square, said that the prisoner—who had been a source of great annoy ance to him on a previous occasion—on the previous night entered his house, upset several glasses, and threw some liquor over his sister. He put the prisoner out with some difficulty, when she struck him in the face, and saying she would be revenged, broke two panes of embossed plate glass of the value of 30s. Pol;ce-constable 40 F proved taking the prisoner into custody, and said that she had cut her arm so badly that he was compelled to take her to the Charing-cross Hospital tc, have it dressed. In answer to the charge, the prisoner said she had injured her arm. Mr. Knox told the prisoner that if she acted in the man ner she had done she must expect to do so. She would have to pay the damage, 3)s, a shilling fine, or be impri soned for 14 days. WESTMINSTER. PLUNDERING SHOPKEEPERS — ALLEGED ROBBERY BY ACCIDENT.—A respectably dressed middle-aged woman, who gave her name Margaret Smith, was charged with committing a robbery at the shop of Mr. John Groabey, a clothier, 55, Strutton-ground, "Westminster. John Harvey, a youth in the prosecutor's employment, said she was passing by the shop at 8 o'clock last evening, when he saw her put her hand down amongst some caps that were resting on an iron stand in front of the shop win dow. He immediately missed the cap, and she was going on, when he stopped her, pulled her cloak on one side, and took the cap from under her arm. Mr. Arnold—Did the prisoner say anything ? Witness—She asked me what was the matter and what I was doing, when I told her I was looking for a cap that she bad taken from our door. When I took the cap away from her she said she was veryEorry, she did not intend to do it. I then took her back to tlio shop. Mr. Arnold—Was she sober? Witness—Quite sober. Sergeant Grant, 2 B, said he was called to take the pri soner into custody, when on her being charged with steal ing the cap produced, she stated that she had had no in tention of stealing it, and begged to be allowed to go, but her request was not acceded to. Prisoner—l am very sorry that this has occurred, but it was purely accidental. I was passing the shop when my cloak came unfastened, and a shawl which I was wearing under it for warmth slipped down and nearly fell off. I pulled it to get it again upon ray shoulders, and with it my cloak, and I must have caught thia cap up in doing so. The cap was not fastened in any way,and was fixed between my cloak and shawl, where it hang for a minute till the boy found it; and I declare most positively that I never had it in my hand. Mr. Arnold—The boy says he saw you put your hand down as you passed. Prisoner—l did not. I knew nothing about the cap until it was found between my shawl and cloak, Mr. Arnold—Let the boy stand up again. Mr. Arnold—Now this is a most serious matter to this poor woman. Are you certain that you saw her put her hand down to the caps as she was in the act of passing. Witness—l am. Mr. Arnold remanded the eccused till Tuesday next. THAMES. A Mrscnavons WoNtit;.-31 ary Ann Taylor, a woman about 27 years of age, who said she was the wife of a dock labourer, was brought before Mr. Partridge, charged with breaking a large sheet of plate glass, valued at LI, in the window of the Brewers' Hall,. wine and beer house in the Commercial -road. A carman, named William Tucker, said he was passing the Brewers' Hall soon after 10 o'clock last night, and saw the prisoner pick up a stone and hurl it against a pane of glass which was broken into many pieces. She then ex claimed " I have done it." Mr. Stephen Henry A tkins, the landlord of the Brewers' Hall, said the pane of glass was worth £4. The prisoner said she came out to break windows, and if she had not smas h e d his glass, she most certainly would have broken som e other person's glass. Mr. Partridge —Are y o u insured? Witness—l am not, sir. night, and rea lly did not know w h a t s h e did. ) i‘ T i he p Mr. . Partridge—Where r soner, inde en ce said she was intoxicated last is Your husband ?

If some arrange ment was not effected with the landlord of the beerhouse, he should inflict a severe punishment, IMPUDENT ROBBERY.—Ann Itawstonc, alias Margaret Brystan, was brought before Mr. Partridge charged with stealing a shawl, the property of a poor woman named Callaham, of No. 31, Bett'a-street, St, George's in the East. The prisoner was no sooner put in the dock than she was recognised by ' w e b ° , the gaoler, as an old thief, who pleaded guilty a few years ago before Mr. Yardley, and was convicted. She has been guilty of many robberies similiar to the present, and was in the practice of entering the dwellings of the poor i n their absenc e and taking up any thing that fell in the way. The prosecutrix, Mrs. Callahan, heard footsteps in her room while she was in another part of her house, and upon returning saw the prisoner leaving the room with a shawl under her arm, which she had removed from a chair. Mrs. Callahan stopped the prisoner, and detained her till a con stable arrived. The shawl was valued at 3s. 6d., and the on ly one'possessed by t h e poor woman to whom it belonged© Mr. Partridge committed the prisoner for trial. Liverpool Cotton ICarket—This Day.

IVORY.—Few persons are aware of the immense demand there is for ivory in our days. At the close of the last century England did not work more than 192,6001 b. of ivory per annum ; in 1827 the demand had risen to 364,7841 b., which supposes the death of 3,040 male elephants per annum, yielding 6,080 tusks, averaging 601 b. each. At present England consumes a million of pounds per annum, or up wards of three times the consumption of 1827 ; and therefore the number of elephants killed for England alone must be 8,333, or therabouts. About 4,000 men lose their lives annually in the pursuit after ivory, that is, to provide the world with combs, knife handles, billiard balls, '&0. A tusk weighing 701 b. is considered by the trade a first-rate one. Cavier made a list of the largest tusks found up to this time,and the most considerable one registered by him weighed 3501 b. At a late sale of tusks in London, the largest, brought over from Bombay and Zan guebar, weighed from 1201 b. to 1221 b. Thoss from Angola averaged 691 b. ; those from the Cape and Natal, 1061 b. ; from Lagos and Egypt, 1141 b.; and from Gaboon, 911 b. But these are by no means the largest sizes to be found at present ; for elephant hunters now penetrate further inward into Africa, and, therefore, meet with older animals. A short I time ago an American house cat up a tusk which was not less than nine feet in length and eight inches in diameter, and weighed 8001 b. In 1851 the same house sent over to the London Exhibition the largest piece of sawn ivory ever seen ; it was lift. in length and ift. broad. The dearest ivory is that which is used for billiard-balls. There are several kinds of ivory ; that which is brought over from the western coast of Africa, except Gaboon, is much less elastic than other sorts, and not so easily brought to perfect whiteness by working; it is only used for knife handles. Since the conquest of Algeria by France the ivory trade has considerably increased in the North of Africa, which receives its supply from the caravans crossing the Desert. The hippopotamus also yields ivory, which is much harder and less elastic than that of the elephant, besides being of much smaller dimensions. The Figaro Programme publishes the follow ing details of a mysterious affair—" A strange affair has been the subject of conversation. On Saturday, M. M--, of Bordeaux, who is well known on the Paris Bourse, was returning home at a late hour, having dined out, and afterwards amused himself by looking at the masks entering the opera. He was going along the Rue Ros sini, when, on reaching the corner leading into the Rue Grange-Bateliere, he remarked two men who appeared to follow him. He stopped in order to ascertain whether his suspicious were correct, when one of them suddenly gave him a violent blow on the forehead with a loaded cane, while the other threw a quantity of snuff in his face and eyes. By a second blow M• M was k n , j _eked down, and then received a stab from a 'soignee!' in the side, ano ther in the arm, and a third in the loins. Although he had a valuable ring on his finger, a gold watch and chain, and a well filled purse in h;s pocket, no attempt at robbery was made. The two me.n then went away, and in about 10 minutes after M. M-- was found by some policemen and conveyed to his residence. As no robbery took place the act must have been one of —ace." vengee.

The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam ship Ceylon, Captain Evans, with the heavy por tion of the Bombay and Mediterranean mails, arrived this morning. She brings 27 passengers, including Captains Pickard and Salmon, R.N., Cap tain Sparkes, Surveyor Roberts, Sir R. Walpole's two sons, and Mr. Perkins, mail agent. The Ceylon has on freight 6 packages of specie, value £942 ; also 486 packages of general cargo, including 398 bales of raw silk, value £35,000. The Ceylon sailed from Alexandria on the 14th ; Malta, 19th ; and Gibraltar, 22d. The first five days of her paseage she experienced heavy north westerly gales, with furious squalls of rain and high seas, thence to Cape Finisterre light winds and fine weather, and up the Channel southerly winds and dull. The company's steamer Elora was to leave Gibraltar seven hours after the Ceylon. Her Majesty's ships Racoon and Psyche were at Alexandria; the Trafalgar, Marlborough, and the Austrian corvette Conte Dandolo were at Malta, and at Gibraltar her Majesty's ships Procris and Magicienne. . _ The Ceylon spoke, on the 24th inst., the steamer Ripon, with the outward mails of the 20th, bound for Alexandria. The Channel squadron, under the command of Rear-Admiral Dacres, C. 8., left Gibraltar on the 13th inst. The British schooner Hagar, in 32 days from New York, arrived at Gibraltar on the 13th. In lat. 36 N., long. 63 W., she picked up the master and crew of the barque Edisto, of Boston, which vessel was destroyed by fire on the 16th. The crew were transhipped to the British ship Mary Ducke, from Cardiff, bound to New York. GIBRALTAR, Jan. 22.—Letters received from Mogador, by the French steamer Maroc, report that Sir Moses Montefiore, with a numerous retinue, set ont on his journey to Morocco on the 17th inst. Although unable to effect a landing at Saffi, Sir Moses was informed by signal from the shore that the two Jewish prisoners had been released on the 6th January. During his stay at Mogador Sir Moses Montefiore and his party were hospitably entertained by Mr. Abraham Carcos, a Jewish mer chant of the town. The object of his visit to Morocco caused him to be received at Mogador with the same demonstrations of gratitude and affection that welcomed him at Tangier. Before quitting Mogador Sir Moses gave a sum of £2OO for distri bution amongst the poor. Sir Moses left here for Saffi and Mogador in her Majesty's ship Magicienne, placed at his disposal. The Bishop of Gibraltar left the fortress on the 16th in her Majesty's ship Redpole, on a visit to Tangier. _ _ Exchanges are quoted on London 90 days' date, 501; Paris, sfr. 26c. ; Marseilles, sfr. 27c. to 28e. ; Genoa, sfr. 30c. to 31c.; Madrid, 8 days' sight, prem.; Cadiz, dis. ; Seville, par to die. ; Malaga, prem. ; Almeira, par; Valencia, par to -1- prem.; Alicant, par.

At Thackeray's Graveside, Conspicuous among those who came side by side with the hearse marched Thackeray's literary com peer, Dickens, erect and grave, and in his aspect deflaut—tho defiance of the deep thought that had fathomed all, and was ready to meet the end, come when it might ; Cruikshank bearing his age bravely but calmly, and seared to Death's inexorable rou tine; Millais, like a young Evangel, with placid all believing eyes ; the gentle Louis Blanc; the mem bers of the Punch staff with Mark Lemon at their head, renewing his literary youth while the last scene of all is closing upon his veteran associate— Leech and Tenniel, whose magic skill Thackeray admired and envied more than the highest art in all the wide field of letters—many more of the young and rising, whose name and fame are yet to come; and with all these a great crowd of strangers who had never known him save in spirit, and who saw him now, for the first time and the last—" coffined and cold." When the coffin was brought forth, borne on the shoulders of eight strong men, who staggered under its weight, the strangers knew that he had been a giant in body as well as in mind. Little more than a week before many here had seen that massive form in the London streets, towering above the common crowd, and challenging the admiring eyes of all who knew the fine grey head. And the whis per would pass from one to another, " There goes Thackeray." And now again that whisper passes among us, but in other phrase; for Thackeray is going from our sight for ever. To the last solemn words of the burial service the great coffin is lowered into the vault, and ashes are cast upon ashes, dust upon dust. The ceremony is cruelly short and summary, as if the grave were impatient and hungry for its prey. There remains nothing for us now but to take a last look into the vault. One by one the mourners come forward, elbowing their way through the crowd. Among the first to approach are two fair young ladies in the deepest mourning. They stand side by side, pale and motionless as statues, and look down with a grief in their sad calm eyes which is past tears. No one asks who they are, for all instinctively know that they are those whom he loved best. Then come other relatives and friends, and among them Alboni, the great singer, grown so old and so sad and sorrow ful now. And one by one we pass along the side of the grave, reverently uncovering our heads, and and taking a last look through eyes dim with tears. I could have been angry with that prosaic policeman who stood at the grave's head and marshalled us, as if we had been crushing to a show; but I thought of him who lay there, and how at my funeral or yours he would have marked that policeman for his own, and made him immortal, "Now, don't be in a hurry," said this intelligent officer ; " follow each other to the right, and you will all see comfortably." How Thackeray would have laughed if he could have known that policeman would make a show of him ! The policeman, therefore, did not vex me, as he might have vexed others who did not think of this. And so Thackeray was buried on a bright Decem ber day ; and as I passed by the side of his grave and looked down, the sunbeams were playing upon the coffin-plate, making a halo of glory round his name. And by-and-by, on returning to the spot when the crowd had dispersed, I found the vault covered with a great grey slab, and methought I saw upon it the epitaph which he himself wrote— " lieu I nunc sub fossa sunt tanti militia ossa." —London Society. QUEEN ELIZABETH'S CHRISTENING,—The very christening of this little lady looks now like a gorgeous dance of Death. Nearly all the noblemen who figured officially at it came to as violent an end as the baby's mother; or wore otherwise gloomily distinguished. Essex, who carried the basons, was the last of the earls of the line of Bourchier. Exeter, who carried the wax, the first marquis of the house of Courtenay, was beheaded. Dorset, who bore the salt—the Grey who, like the king, repudiated his first wife, Catharine Fitz-Alan, and, by King Henry's niece, becamo the father of Lady Jane Grey—also passed under the axe. Lord Rochford, a graceful rhymer and a clever sonneteer; and Lord Hussey, who swelled the train, tasted soon after of the scaffold and sawdust. Cranmer, the young princess' godfather, came to a more painful end by fire; while the Earl of Wiltshire, worse than submitting to the headsman himself, saw his son undergo that bloody submission ; and the Earl of Derby, the luckiest man of this awfully splendid group, came off with no worse fortune than having a daughter married to the Lord Stourton, who was hanged !—Court and Society from Elizabeth to Anne, by the Duke of Manchester.

FUNERAL OF ARCHBISHOP HUGHES New York papas state that as early as 5 o'c lock the morning of the day of the funeral people bogatt to assemble about St. Patrick's Cathedral. The ceremonial is described as having been most impres sive. On a magnificent catafalque in the centre aisle lay the body of the archbishop, placed in an uncovered coffin of rosewood, lined with white satin, the head elevated upon cushions of purple silk. He was dressed in the archiepiscopal robes and insignia of office worn in life, the chasuble and the dalmatic being the under garments. Over these the alb, the purple soutan, and the cincture of rich velvet em broidered in gold. Around his neck was the palhima, from which was suspended the pectoral cross of gold. His feet were clad in purple stock ings, with shoes of purple velvet and gloves upon his hands of the same colour. He wore upon his finger the same ring with which he was consecrated, 26 years exactly from the day upon which he was buried. On one side of the coffin was placed the crozier, and on the other the episcopal cross. At the foot two crosses of evergreens and white japonicas. After the office for the dead, and grand mass of requiem, a funeral discourse was preached by one of the bishops. At the conclusion of this discourse the ceremonies of la©t absolution were performed, all the bishops present taking part, each in. turn intoning the offices and passing round the body, sprinkling upon it holy water, and swinging over it the censors filled with burning incense. The re mains were borne to the vault near the door by six priests of the diocess, preceded by the bishops, and followed by the family and relatives of the de ceased, the priests chanting the Benedictus. The concluding prayers at the vault were read by Bishop Timon, and the body was again sprinkled with holy water and incensed, and lowered to its last resting place. The Archbishop was buried on the 26th anniversary of his consecration as bishop. He died on the day of his patron saint, St. John, and had often expressed a wish to die on that day. The Courts all adjourned for the day, out of respect to his memory, and the flags on the public buildings were displayed at half-mast. All the public (aces were closed. The Proposed Arcade from Regent-street to Bond-street. Yesterday afternoon an influential meeting of the resi dents of St. James's,Westminster, convened by requisition, was held in the St. James's Vestry Hall, Piccadilly, to take into consideration the means to be adopted for opposing the above scheme, The Rev. Mr. Kempe, rector of St. Janes's, occupied the chair. The CHAIRMAN said the inhabitants of the district were ' not present for the purpose of considering the desirability of carrying out the scheme, but for the purpose of opposing it, It had been publicly stated by those interested in the ar cade, through the gentlemen who sympathised with the oa jects of the meeting, that the public rates would be charged'_ with the expense of the opposition, but he could assure them that that was not the case. A number of gentlemen carrying on business in the parish, and whose property would be affected by the proposed arcade, were ready and willing to put down money to meet the expenses, and there was no danger whatever of the public rates becoming chargeable. He did not see that the proposed arcade would in any way contribute to the improvement of the parish. It was got up entirely for the profit of private individuals. Ho had already given his reasons for opposing the scheme at a meeting held last year at St. James's Hall. One of those reasons was that there a:ready existed in the parish—he alluded to Burlington Arcade—a nuisance which was the centre and resort of an evil which abounded and overflowed the parish. (No, no.) The attention of Lord Chesham, the owner, had been called to the fact, but he did not possess the power to get rid of the nuisance, although orders had been given to the beadles at each end to keep out improper characters. He would ask, in the case of a public company, whether they would be able to get rid of the:nuisance;when a private owner, possessing greater power than ever Parlia ment would grant to a public company could not do so. The arcade when built would become a public thoroughfare, there would be no beadles to keep out prostitutes. It would become the lounging place of the young men belon ging to the clubs, and it would also become the lounging place of prostitutes. Mr. ALDERMAN COPELA.ND, M.P., said he did: not see the utility of the proposed arcade to the parish, as they already possessed access to all the great thoroughfares. if the members representing the borough did not take the m atter up he would do so him self . He moved the h)llowing reso lution ;—" That the proposal to form an arcade from R egen t-street to New Bond-street is totally unrea sona bl e, and will, in .the opinion of the meeting (if carried out), prove extremely injurious to the surrounding neighbour hood." _ _ Mr. CARBONNELL seconded the motion, which - was car ried y bY , l ar ge majority after a s li g ht opposition. Onthe motion of Mr. Bid goo d, seconded by Mr. Red et a committee was app o i n t e d to watch the scheme, and n totake steps to opp ose it i n P arliament. and e Mr. Medwin moved and Mr, Hunt ;econded a motion, to the effect that it be an instruction to the committee to memorialise the Commissioners of Woods and Fort.sts, and the corporation of the City of London, to assist ixd watch ing over the interests of their tenants. The motion was carried. A subscription list having been opened, the pro , ceedinge terminated with a vote of thanks to the chairman.. THE ALABAMA.—SINGAPORE, Dec. 22, :1863, The Confederate steamer Alabama anchored in the roads last night at dark ; her arrival was not known t ill early this morning.
